"The biology graduate 程序 at UNC was a great fit for me. The PhD 程序 provides a nice blend of science 和 science education. My skills as both a biologist 和 an educator were strengthened through my experiences. That doesn't happen in all graduate 项目. I think that having a solid background in biology as well as a track record of successful teaching really helped me to st和 out in the job application process. I feel I was well prepared for my immediate future as an Assistant Professor of Biology at a liberal arts college."
